Washington a an average four person family May see the grocery Bill Rise As much As $3.40 a week next year if farm prices Are stable. But smaller meat and Dairy supplies could Force that Bill up by $6.15 a week the agriculture depart ment s chief economist said tuesday. That Price increase would be above the $6.21 increase already foreseen for 1978 for the typical four person family who spent $62.10 a week on groceries last year. Under the new figures that family would be spending Between $71.71 and $74 46 a week for food by the end of 1979, agriculture department economist Howard a Hjort told a House subcommittee. Hjort said steady farm prices would mean an increase of Only 4 percent or 5 percent in retail food prices in 1979, Al though private forecasters Are predicting a Rise of 7 percent to 9 percent. Food prices this year Are expected to average 10 percent above 1977 averages. Most of the 1978 increase came in the first five months of the year Hjort told the eco nomic stabilization subcommittee of the House banking finance and Urban affairs  told the panel that food prices Are expected to be steady until the end of the year barring unusual weather or other  the 1978 increase was caused mainly by smaller beef supplies by weather damage to fruits and vegetables and by a congressional boost in minimum sugar prices Hjort said. An increase in farm prices of about 15 percent this year accounts for More than half the 1978 boost he said. The costs and profits of food Industry middlemen Are rising by about 7 percent or 8 percent and account for about 40 percent of the increase Hjort said.
